When it comes to sleep, sometimes silence is golden—and sometimes it needs a little help. In this episode, we’ll explore the world of earplugs and earbuds designed to quiet the night and protect your rest, because sometimes the best way to protect your dreams is to put a little something in your ear. In this episode we will:
- Determine why reducing noise can make such a difference for falling asleep and staying asleep
- List the best earplugs made specifically for sleep—like BET SLUMBUR, Loop, Swanwick, and Happy Ears
- Introduce new approaches to noise masking that blend soothing sound with comfort and advanced sleep tracking (Ozlo)
- Revisit noise canceling innovations that actively fight disruptive sounds (QuietOn 4.0)
- Learn how to match the right solution to your unique sleep environment—whether it’s a snoring partner, thin apartment walls, or unpredictable travel nights
